There really needs to be an incredible payoff to make this fiasco resemble anything close to a good idea.
Maybe the troops coming from south Korea will have better luck, as we obviously don't need them there. I am so very glad we found the stinky gas Sadam had, it is far worse than the nukes in the hands of that sweet dictator in North Korea.

O.K. sarcastic rant over.

Yes it is an interesting development to have possibly found chemical weaponry in Iraq. It may lend some weight to our presence there. The agent Sarin is deadly, even in very small dosage, and could have killed many. That said, the time for finding WMD's is long over, as we have far bigger problems in Iraq. We are coming very close to losing control of the country(if indeed we ever had it) and entering into a much more costly phase of the occupation. In the coming months, finding WMD's will mean nothing to anyone exept the administration, and the hard core republicans looking for good news and justification.

Many more American soldiers will die, and not to find weapons. In fact , to this day I still don't really know why we are there. Simply because those who decided to go, haven't had the will to tell me the truth. And have changed the lies so many times that even they must be confused by now.

Remember that Sadaam could of had that sarin-tipped, binary-mixing howitzer shell mounted on a plane and used it to attack the USA in 45 minutes.
